Reddit limits API usage mainly for IP, so you need multiple IPs to avoid this issue.

It's not impossible to have multiple instance of the same bot running in parallel, but there are too many race condition and it became too much to handle.
I do not. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

If you let people use their freedom of speech to be anti-free-speech we will end up with a society that does not have this freedom. This is the logic on why licenses like the GPL were created, restrict some freedoms in order to keep the rest.
Winamp. Took me 20 years to find a replacement (musicbee).
CoScreen, an app sharing and pair programming tool [1] runs on Jitsi / JaaS. I work on that project. We're really happy with the service since a reliable and fast global infrastructure is key for what we offer.

It is widespread for high-load highly-available distributed sites.

Amazon multivalue response is just a short TTL DNS record on a DNS server that returns one address from dynamic set of healthy IPs.

That's silly. I heard about it. No radicalization.
DNS Round robin is as standard practice. Just "dig google.com" in your terminal and your DNS provider will certainly spit out multiple IPs.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/re... also mentions a "health" column. Thats beyond the scope of a public world wide DNS with caching, in my opinion.

> Then if and when you finally get through all that, you are likely charging at a much slower speed than a Supercharger.

That depends completely on the charger. "Normal" DC charging stations are 50kW around here.

HVDC chargers go up to 350kW, but not many cars can utilise all of that, most cap out at 75-100kW.
Exactly, at least they didn’t use “childish” as a slur to condemn this behavior they consider inappropriate. Children have a significant inner world that deserves respect... /s
This is the issue. People (especially on HN) complain about people building un-semantic, inaccessible websites that don't work with JS disabled—and I agree this sucks—but HTML is so limited your only choice is to build the niceties yourself or skip them altogether. Sure, in some circumstances you can progressively enhance (sortable table for example), but many cases having a HTML fallback that still does what you need it to is a ton of extra work.

HTML covers text, painfully basic tables, semantic rectangles (<nav>, <aside>, etc.), form inputs, and embedded media. Basically, anything you could build with a word processor. Outside of that, you're on your own.

JavaScript and CSS are continually improving and are so much more capable than they were even five years ago, but it feels like HTML is just stagnating. Why can't we have new elements every year, with behaviour? Stuff that works just fine out of the box, but can be easily tweaked with CSS or a little sprinkling of JS. The amount of developer time and bandwidth we could save not having to re-invent the wheel for every little thing.
I would not recommend trying to use closures in python.
I don't need history to know algorithms... so "that was solved 50 years ago" doesn't teach me how to build a balanced node tree or actually matter if I simply know to use sort library method A instead of B.

> good reasons to learn

Of course... but none of that needs HISTORY to use effectively.

Knowing functional programing, procedural, async, etc, etc, etc... I can know all of that without needing to know history.

One doesn't need the other.
I would submit that the “Graphics Gems” series of books does document a lot of rendering techniques in their historical context. They were written to be current for practitioners at the time, but the connections are drawn.

Tesla is making themselves very attractive to be nationalized. I hope it happens soon -- making their network available for all electric vehicles would be a massive benefit to the public good.
Surely you can't be serious after what happened to Parler. You just can't period, short of building your own infrastructure.
Hi Alex,

How is the example cost of Albendazole right? Technically, it's a generic drug, and the cost is 10c (locally in India, atleast). What marks this up 130x in the US?

In 99% of cases you don't need to specifically wait for the car to charge. You can go do your shopping, grab lunch, smoke etc. Stuff you most definitely can't do while refueling a car =)
I just did the same. I moved to Google, even though I’m no fan. Cost is about 70% less.

As with every major man made catastrophe, it could have been avoided, if we cared enough about it. Also, there is never a single solution that will fix everything, but if we got behind half a dozen of the best options, we could probably avoid the worst effects, but that would require actually making a global plan and sticking with it through various administrations.

The one good thing if civilization does collapse, is that doesn't necessarily mean the end of humanity. It just means thousands to hundreds of thousands of years to get back to normal temperature wise. In that time frame I'm sure we will evolve to handle those tempatures, but of course not without all the tradedgy and loss of life.
Any on-line venue is a place where mods and admins make the rules. You know them before going in. Their place, their rules. It’s the same when going into any bar. Some bars may allow rowdy behavior, others have strict measures.

In such places speech is a privilege and not a right.

The only remarkable thing here in this article is the size of the discord. The problem with huge size is that the amplification effect is a lot bigger and that tends to get noticed. In the real world you don’t have bars with tens of thousands of guests.

The last line you mention is true-ish if said rather derogatory, but if you value freedom of speech, you can also extrapolate that everyone has a right on their view of life, nothing little about it.

The problem that is not being mentioned is cause and effect. If your view on life is basically violent and emotional, that helps nothing when it comes to public discourse. In all my years when I was a mod on IRC, never did name calling or derogatory names further an argument or improve communication, except when we were maybe discussing the topic itself.

It’s not just the Leaf, all electric cars have a terrible resale value problem. People think that preowned EVs suck because these cars have depleted batteries, and they’ve heard car batteries are just like their other devices batteries. More than any other car, EVs should never be outright bought.
A favourite quote, that appears on my Github profile:

> Computing is pop culture. [...] Pop culture holds a disdain for history. Pop culture is all about identity and feeling like you're participating, It has nothing to do with cooperation, the past or the future—it's living in the present. I think the same is true of most people who write code for money. They have no idea where [their culture came from]. - Alan Kay

Vet care and pet products generally have been a target of private equity lately. Of course so has private (human) practice.
This man is nuts. It's a dire sign of the times that any publication would assert him as an intellectual or a martyr rather than a deranged outcast. Replace his delusions with almost any other and he would certainly attract those labels, or worse.

This is not science. It's religion. Enough doomsday predictions have come and gone for me to be a heretic. People like this make me proud to wear the label.
Yes they only cover defined-benefit pensions. They say that they cover ‘pension benefits in private-sector defined-benefit plans’. A 401(k) is a defined-contribution pension so it’s out of their scope.

But so what they don’t cover it? Why does that make it less of a pension? Government pensions also aren’t covered by it. Are they not pensions as well?
> Even with all the regulation, when you get in an ambulance you can tell them to take you to a specific hospital.

A) you may be unconscious B) you may not know anything that would allow you to differentiate ER facilities C) you almost certainly have no information on the current wait times at an ER facility, let alone specific physicians on call D) you may be unaware of the intersection between your insurance and hospital choice (for example, I had insurance once that only covered care at a (very fine, major urban) hospital that was unable to treat my amputation accident).

So really ... just no.

If you're going to start dismissing the fact that smart people have written smart stuff on a topic by saying that we revise what is considered smart, then I'd just do the same in reverse, and say that none of the worldview/policy view that you're arguing for is supported by anyone worth paying attention to, since it's all just out of date and/or will be consigned to the trash heap of history very soon.

The books I am talking about are not "musty old volumes".

> In a basic simple mathematical way, fewer providers means less access to care.

That's a response to a completely inverted point. If there are already enough providers, then more providers doesn't mean more access to care (certainly not based on access to providers, rather than cost).

> The problem is that things like social planning of healthcare provision are evidently flawed in every respect due to the belief that they can’t be trusted to markets.

You're on the edge of a no true scotsman argument here, which means I'm going to bed.
There are plenty of hard to censor systems out there. You can setup your own Mastodon node or join one with lax rules. The convenience of centralized systems currently trumps the feelings about the moderation of these platforms.

If you feel strongly about it you should go ahead, switch to a decentralized platform and get your friends to follow suit.
The reason censorship doesn't work is because the idea is still in the banned person's head. Denying access hardly does anything to change someone's mind.

Sure, every company has the right to do what they want with their "platform", but don't be surprised if in the future these people persist into new platforms to share their ideas. New platforms that will be controlled by them with no possibility of censorship, or worse, the opposite type in an attempt to reverse the damage.

"keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"

And this is granting the justification for censorship, which of course most of the time is just about power and control, with innocent people paying the price.
Isn't the coherer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherer the first memristor? If so it was invented in 1890.
But you are both right. Ever had a good free debate about anything when the other side of the debate held their ears and screamed their opinion full blast?

The best and most free debates I ever had happened in environments where I knew that I was allowed to be wrong without them holding it against me.

As a European I always thought free speech was very much an American thing. In the past years I realised that debates are lead much more freely here than in the US, because your debates constantly go onto a red vs blue track. That means speakers have to reflect that constantly and signal to everybody else where they stand and which team they like.

The truth is, both environment factors into free speech and every society has to strike a balance.
But it turns out their livelihood does depend on them understanding it.

Should be interesting to see what happens - I’ll never buy from a dealership again (and today there’s no non-tesla option for anything that’s not a strict city car).

I’m curious what Apple might do. The other companies seem hopeless.

Can anyone point me to an article that explains why we are still stuck with these standards from the 1970s? I understand backward compatibility can be important, but I don't quite understand why terminal standards are the ONE thing in the computing world that just can not move into the future.

As a moderator of a large (400k+ members) Discord, I can confirm that Discord has specifically told members of the partner program to remove words such as retard. I've never heard of a server being banned for it, but not allowing retard and the like has been a policy for more than a year now.

I am no iPhone/apple fan boy (in fact the opposite) but it is easy to forget that despite camera phones existing before the original iphone, the photos languished on the vast majority of phones, never seen by others.

To get them off you had to plug your phone into your pc, pull the media card, or pay through the nose to email them to yourself (unless you had WiFi at home which not everyone did at the time). MMS was the only common form of media sharing for loads of users and that really degraded the image quality - I forget the maximum MMS size but it was tiny.

The iPhone and the apps actually encouraged people to share their images and explore others in the way that devices before didn't. And even if you didn't use the apps the ease of backup through iTunes was a massive boost to people accessing and using their images away from their phones.

I had Dropbox on my android phones as soon as you could and would tell everyone to do the same, but for android it wasn't really until Google photos that photo backup and sharing got as simple and easy. And even recently it still wasn't installed on the majority of new phones, and manufacturers pushed their own backup/gallery apps that were rarely as good.
Are you saying Discord openly permits groups that share child porn? Or discusss how to find it? I could understand the latter if the discord itself has nothing illegal but that’s still pretty shocking.

I hope that those bans will reveal to more people, that Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and, now, Discord are rotten platforms. Hopefully that will create enough demand to let truly free competitors rise up.
The M1 still has a clear lead in single-core performance and that at a much lower clock speed than the competition. That is the big leap in performance. There are still far to many things which depend on single core performance. This is why a Threadripper with 64 cores really shines only for very compute-intensive parallel work loads. It will be very interesting, how the performance of Apple Silicon will be, once they go to 8 or 16 high performance cores.
You have fallen victim to propaganda by wall street billionaire vultures. This is not a bubble. This is a high stakes market movement speculation game that billionaire vulture short sellers are playing. They just got careless and lazy and got caught in money losing position. Now, these billionaire vultures are crying and whining to the government to help them with bailouts and change the rules in the middle of the game.

WSB is playing the game fair and square. It's the billionaires that's been short selling and manipulating the markets that got caught with their pants down.

WSB is squeezing the greed out of billionaire vulture short sellers, which has gotten so brazen that they have painted themselves into a corner. Usually, they get away with these kind of shenanigans. But this time, someone who knew the game saw the positions and realized that other player had the edge using a winning strategy. All they have to do is drive the price higher and short sellers have to buy at whatever price to cover their positions.

Think of it like this, someone has to buy an item that you have, at any price. What price would you charge?

Hydrogen fuel cells were a stupid option paraded out repeatedly (usually by legacy companies using it to say EVs were bad) and Tesla said as much at the time.

The predictions about battery tech improvements were reasonable ones and publicly made (arguably easy to accept).

Legacy companies could fix this in theory, but in practice they wasted ten years and aren’t making the moves necessary today. I’d bet against them.
The part I don't understand is this: “Someone noted that these hedgefunds shorted 140% of all shares available.”

How can you borrow a share that doesn't exist?
They're not going to stop doing that. It makes a lot of money when no one is scrutinizing them.
The point is propagation speed. A burning tree surrounded by acres of burning trees is largely irrelevant at that point. It might happen to produce spark that travels miles, but that’s relatively rare. Which is why firebreaks can be useful.

> As a Tesla owner, I tried using a third-party charging station once just to see what it was like. I ended up leaving and going to the closest supercharger instead because of how laughably bad the experience was.

This really is a night and day difference for people who don't have a charging port at home/work or have to use their cars for long distances. It makes the experience that better, as opposed to having to go to the mall or a shopping center, some of who actually offer free charging in some cases near wholefoods and other upscale shops, and rely on old charging systems that keep you there for hours instead of the 30 min top up you can get on a P95D that is rather convenient on the coasts.

I already put my deposit for a Cybertruck but I want to my mom to get a Tesla too so we will be driving to the next SpaceX launch in Vandenburg next month with a FSD and see what she thinks and finally moves away from ICE.

I was always a proponent of EV vehicles but what really did me it for me was how quick Tesla rolled out its Supercharging network, that was such an undervalued component in their overall valuation.

Having worked in the autos Industry it dawned on me somewhere between 2015 or so that Tesla isn't as much a car company as it is a power company and that their MVP were cars but would gradually transition more and more toward infrastructure for power generations stations, Chamath made the same observation around the same time and echoed his view earlier this year about it, too.
Just use VPN or Tor. My country blocks lots of websites, so VPN is routine thing for me. I recommend wireguard.
WebRTC datagrams could be used for this purpose, however it would likely add a lot of annoying complexity to the back end (dealing with STUN/TURN).

This is a solved problem for people who like to spread disinformation at scale. You link bomb.

Ideally you have a cache of extremely long messages where you selectively quote small sections of sources, out of context, that seemingly prove your point but on careful reads are unrelated or actually contradict.

But there's ten or fifteen "sources" and by the time you read through the post, all the articles posted, and form a coherent argument contradicting it, they've already posted a bunch of other places and/or the thread has moved on.

That's the ideal case where you're inclined to waste 20 minutes arguing agaisnt a comment on the internet and there isn't a mix of legitimate sources with total bull shit sources forcing you to do a secondary hop to prove a point agaisnt the fake source.
No it doesn't, and you have to blatantly ignore the power dynamics between groups to compare the two.

Your analogy would hold only if people with mental disabilities started trying to reclaim the discriminatory connotations of the word by using it to describe themselves.
Yes, but you cannot do that when you are short 149% of all stock. There simply is not enough stock available to cover your short position.

I’m all for the right to repair.

The other day I put my phone through a full washing machine cycle though, and it didn’t need to be repaired. That’s incredible. It came out of the machine looking brand new.

I’m a little torn. Can we have repairable devices that are this stable and robust, and have such an incredible form factor?

Considering this phone will last me 4 or 5 years, it’s a good value and extremely dependable. I want more repairable things, I just don’t know how they’d make it happen in a way that keeps them competitive.

One shitty thing: my left AirPods Pro clicks and pops, and the only solution is a complete replacement. Apple is willing to replace them at no charge, but I can’t stand the waste. What will they do with them? Recycle and landfill? These things really are a repairability nightmare and I don’t think I can justify buying then again.

My personal experience has been very positive though. The need to repair is remarkably rare.
Cool product. Would you be willing to share rough revenue numbers?
Well, it’s not really OK, you need to spread the fingers to make it look like WP.

Hi, what I'd really like is to test my conjecture - would you (or anyone reading) be able to email me a (< 500 line, ideally not super-deep-library-code) bit of code (constructed or otherwise) that you think is "so innately OO friendly that the conjecture won't hold".

Given some examples, I'll do a follow-up blog post.
That is exactly right. Profit (or loss) is what's left after a transaction is complete.
What makes you think the definition of pension is "protected by the PGBC"? The PGBC's website itself specifies:

> PBGC is a federal agency created by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to protect pension benefits *in private-sector defined-benefit plans*

Which means by implication that there are pensions in non-defined-benefit plans (ie defined-contribution, like 401ks). Also note that this quote indicates the PGBC doesn't protect public-sector pension plans, which means your logic leads to the ludicrous conclusion that public-sector pensions are somehow not pensions.

This level of confidence combined with this level of ignorance is not a good look.
